Anyone file PERM today?

[knowDOL]

Does any body how many CO's (Certifying Officers) are working in Chicago or Atlanta each? If they send system generated mails to everybody and assuminig everyone received these mails and respond within one week, how much time do they take to approve it. I don't see the possibility of approvals getting in time to file before August 30th if manual intervention is required and cases are allotted to CO's to certify after seeing documentation for all these cases.

Now, I totally lost hope of being able to file by August end.

I hope AILA or some other firm posts some statistics on how many apps are in Chicago DOL in In Process.

DOL claimed that they can give access to only certain parts for certain users. How far the software is working no body knows. If I were you I would just be happy if my HR can login once in two days and tell me what is happening. Why unnecessarily invite trouble. DOL keeps track of IP's. So, it is not a good idea to have your own account.

My HR ...

Thanks

Hello folks,

Greetings !!!

I have applied PERM on July 5th, Certified on July 18th, EB2 Category.

But my employer rec'd letter saying the case is certified, Is this hard-copy of the approval? Is there any other mail need to expect?

Please clarify.....Thanks SuperGC

Hi VJPERM,

No wonder my employer received a second sponsorship verification phone call today. We were all surprised.

Now my case says "In Process".

Weird System

Zoid,

What is your status today? I guess they re-ran all the cases and mine changed to Inprocess from audit review.

Hi nning,

My case is also in Sponsorship (forever).

July 1st - Filed (Chicago... case # C-********)
July 8th - received Sponsorship email. Unable to reply as it was > 7 days
July 18th - Received sponsorship phone call from DOL. Passed it
July 24th - Status still in Sponsorship

Hi nning,

You can expect a phone call from DOL to verify your sponsorship again today

Today after the rerun, my employer received a second sponsorship phone call and after answering it, the status now says "In Process"

Good luck

my case was changed from sponsorship to in process too.

SEE WHAT i have been through, then you will know you are not that bad.
filed on may 21st
then went to audit review in oneday
denied by rerun on 06/24
and corrected by system on 07/06 to sponsorship,
never received anything from then, now, changed to in process.

my lawyer and I both contacted with DOL, the word"in process" is what they told us in email.

so, I am not sure if this is a nice move or DOL just uses that as excuse to get rid of the inquiries.

 

[zoid]

Did it change to "In process" for you too. Just kidding

Hope not

I got certified withing 5 days.
applied 07/22 got certified on 07/28.
waiting for hard copy

 

[nning]

we did not get the second call, it is in process too.

think about this, they can not just call the cases they have called once, that is wasting time.

right?

Hope not

Makes sense. I guess I am too impatient. Darn.
Thanks

Guys- DOL thinking we are fools

I just visited my employers office... the immigration guy loged in and show me the status... DOL just posting "In process" in the front end. In their Database they have same earlier "sponsorship/audit/final review" status.

We figured this by clicking withdraw cases link and it shows only cases has "incomplete or In Process cases(Not all cases but only the cases with sponsorship status at their end)".

He went further and selected one "In process" case and clicked "withdraw" button.. it went to another page.. where it asking for withdraw cofirmation and it shows the current case status as "Sponsorship" not as "In process".

Then he cancelled the "Withdraw" request.

Online withdraw request not available for "Audit" or "Final", so we unable to check.

So, DOL still has old status at their end and it just displaying "In Process".

Good to know that. It seems DOL still has original status in their internal network but for external display purpose, In Process will represent all interim status. I guess.

Hi AC21EB3,

This was a great information for me. Atleast I am sure my status is not in "Sponsorship" anymore

For the last 28 days my case was in Sponsorship, today I got the second phone call from DOL and it went to "In Process". I tried your method to check the actual status and it confirmed that I am not in "Sponsorship" status anymore

thanks

I agree. I think DOL do not want us to figure out how their system triggers audit review or final review. Now they just show one status.

"In Process" represents these internal status: Sponsorship/ Audit Review/ Final Review.

All I know is my internal status is not in Sponsorship anymore. It can be in Audit or Final review.

what status are u in now?

Thanks.

 

[irinastaicu]

Thus, showing in process does not mean anything. The real status is as before, just dysplaying another name to prevent further calls and inquires. Everybody's case shows in process, but each of us is in the same status as before. Did I get it right?

one of our case denied for a wrong date. We mistyped SWA job order date. This case moved to "in process" from "Denied" yesterday. Still in "In process" status. I think they are rerunning recently filed denied cases.

It seems there is a mistake in your case so they denied it again...

Check for the mistake and refile it. We refiled our case and it was in "final review". From yesterday it is in "In process".
